QUESTION NO.12

QUESTION: Councillor P. Holohan

What percent of energy used to charge EV vehicles is from renewable sources.

REPLY:

The council fleet is currently charged off electricity from the nation grid. Based on recent reports from EirGrid, 42% electricity generated in Ireland in 2023 came from renewable sources.  This figure will increase over time with the expanded availability of renewable source power generation.  Ireland has set a target of up to 80% renewable electricity by 2030.
